Conversational Leadership Coaching
The essential elements needed for powerful conversations, that build trust, build strong healthy relationships and get better business results, are woven into every aspect of this coaching.
I work with our clients to design and facilitate initiatives that set the stage for leaders, executives and teams to create breakthroughs, sustain positive change, and build leadership strength within their organisations.
I also coach, partner with leaders, executives, and teams to assist them in designing roadmaps to facilitate ongoing conversations to rethink and reshape strategies and practices for success in a world that is constantly changing and disrupted. The foundation of the Conversational Leadership coaching I offer is Conversational Intelligence®.

Change your conversations
Change your life
Conversations trigger neurochemistry that moves us into either protect or partnering behaviours. Each conversation we have either opens us up to feel trust or closes us down to feel distrust. Every conversation we engage in triggers this response in us and in the people we are talking to.
Judith E. Glaser Defining Conversational Intelligence®
“To get to the next level of greatness depends on the quality of the culture. The quality of the culture depends on the quality of relationships. And the quality of the relationships depends on the quality of conversations.
Everything happens through conversations”.

What is Conversational Intelligence® and how is it different?
Conversational Intelligence® is a revolutionary body of work leveraging the power of neuroscience to create profound and lasting transformation for individuals, teams and entire organisational cultures. Combining science and intuition, Conversational Intelligence® (C-IQ) aspires to shift our world from I-Centric to WE-Centric and architect conversational transformation on a neuro-chemical level.
Whether applied to individual leaders and executives, teams or entire organisations, C-IQ® is a force for positive transformation such as establishing high levels of trust, triggering growth and innovation, overcoming limiting conversational patterns or gracefully navigating difficult conversations.

We are in conversations every day, and research shows that 9 out of 10 conversations miss the mark. Sometimes people may say to you, “I don’t have time to spend in deep conversations; they take too long.” By mastering Conversational Intelligence®, what normally could take months or even years can happen instantaneously. Conversational Intelligence® enables deeper connections to surface quickly with others.
Conversational Intelligence® is the next generation of intelligence that enables us to understand how to move from “I-centric” to “WE-centric.” C-IQ is about co-regulation.

What clients have said
|
I have come to realise the need to work in the leadership and conversation space is important to me, to others also and imperative for change. The influence I have been able to have in the bigger (and micro) team picture is more than I could have expected. Navigating the Covid world has been a challenge but I haven’t stopped trying hard to make it all work and embrace the changes no matter how difficult it seems some days. I have become a true leader and not a carrier of the load on my own! - Cathy H.
Maureen's grasp of this vital leadership skill ~ our conversations ~ is outstanding. Thank you for your work Maureen. - Alison L.
